Chapter 167: Spirit Exploration Live Room

After leaving the corridor, Xu Zhiyan adjusted the angle of the live broadcast on his mobile phone and pressed the volume button to ensure that he would not miss the notification sound of the mobile phone.

It was pitch black before my eyes.

It was then that he realized that there were no surrounding facilities around the old building where he lived, and it was located right on the edge of the city.

Recalling the structure of the room, the windows of the master bedroom face the city side with tall buildings, while downstairs, looking out from the back of the residential building, it is a plain terrain with overgrown weeds.

...very weird.

Why do developers build such a separate building when they build a building?

I glanced at the live broadcast screen on my phone, but because the light was not on, I couldn’t see anything, only the barrage of comments kept flashing by.

He spoke slowly and calmly.

"Let me see how to turn on the lights and broadcast live..."

In fact, he had just tested that this live streaming phone could be used for live streaming with the flashlight on. However, in order to better shape his image as a new anchor, he checked the battery level of the phone and took five minutes to turn on the light for live streaming.

A beam of bright light illuminated everything in front of me, and I could see the dirty floor tiles.

“It’s a little scary.”

He held up the phone and turned it around, speaking in a timid voice.

The next second, the live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.

[Wow! He actually went out. I thought the anchor was just talking casually.]

[Don’t be afraid! We are here with you! (Flower +1)]

[Host, please come find me. It’s too dangerous to go out alone. And I don’t think I’ll be able to see your face.]

[Are you sick? Didn’t you come here to watch the ghost-hunting live broadcast? What are you going to do? If you want to see faces so much, why don’t you watch the anchor with good looks?]

After taking a quick glance at the soul-searching live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan ignored the content of the barrage.

But after noticing that this group of audience members had taken a bite, he became more careful when speaking, speaking in a low voice and pretending to be scared.

But contrary to his voice, his expression became very cold after he left the camera. When he looked at the surrounding environment, there was only exploration in his eyes, and there was no trace of timidity.

In the game live broadcast room, the audience was amused by his ruthless and contrasting expression.

【Hahahahahahahahaha Xiao Baiwan is like a voice actor now.】

[Use the coldest expression to say the cutest words hahaha]

[I am dying of laughter, he is really working hard! He really is, I am crying to death hahahahahahaha]

[Xiao Baiwan: Finally I don’t have to live stream face to face anymore! 】

[Hahahaha why do I feel like he's so skilled at pretending! So smooth!]

[Listen to the voice: Poor little thing. Look at the expression: So annoying. When will I get off work?]

[Hahahahahahahaha, I thought Xiao Baiwan would follow the same route as Feng Yanyan and become a comedian, but I didn't expect him to pretend to be a green tea! ]

[Hot knowledge, the traffic of marginal anchors is much larger than that of serious anchors. Xiao Baiwan is hovering on the edge of the traffic password. ]

In the darkness, Xu Zhiyan walked slowly, interacting with the audience from time to time.

The system does not give the specific location of the abandoned cinema, and players cannot search it online. Whether it is a mobile phone or a computer, in addition to the basic functions, they can only open a live broadcast APP. Now they need to judge whether the direction is correct based on the distance on the display panel.

But the refresh time is too long, it only refreshes once every ten minutes.

At this time, if you want to find the specific address faster, in addition to taking a taxi on the road, you need the audience in the live broadcast room to help you find the way.

The audience in Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room was quite active, so overall it went smoothly. Everyone guided him along the way and found one landmark intersection after another.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, there are some dynamic special effects on the mobile phone.

A cluster of crude electronic fireworks exploded in the center of the screen, turned into points of light and disappeared, and finally turned into a jumping gift value.

[(Flower +1)(Flower +1)(Salute +10)]

[How many gifts do I need to send to arrange an offline meeting?]

[Are you still not giving up?]

[How many gifts do I need to send to participate in offline ghost hunting? (Salute +10)]

[Grass……]

The audience who had been eager to meet the host offline finally couldn't resist the temptation of the weak little anchor and started giving gifts.

Xu Zhiyan's eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

Even if someone had given him gifts just now, they were mostly flowers with a gift value of 1. He didn't expect that someone would give him higher-level gifts so soon. He thought he could only get them at the spirit-exploring location.

“Thank you brother for the gift. Although it’s my first time doing a live broadcast and I don’t know what the gift can do, I really like this special effect.”

He called me brother without any pressure.

Unlike some game players, when entering a dungeon and facing ordinary NPCs, he always feels a bit superior.

Xu Zhiyan likes everyone who gives him money.

No matter who the NPC behind the live broadcast room is, as long as these people give him gifts at this moment, he can provide some emotional value to the other party, which is a very fair deal.

He expressed his gratitude first, and then he thought about how to ask for more gifts while maintaining his image.

"The gift special effects are great! I don't feel so scared anymore after seeing them. You guys are really great audiences. Thank you so much for meeting you all."

With the character of a beautiful and polite little anchor and the touching words of thanks, the audience who stayed in the live broadcast room were almost bewitched.

Sure enough, after Cha Lichaqi's words, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and they started to send gifts, and the gift value soared.

[Oh, just some small things! (Flower +1)]

[It’s just a few bucks, hehe! It’s great to be able to help the anchor~ (Salute +1) (Salute +1)]

[I have even better special effects! (Sports car +100)]

[How come you guys are all so rich? I’ll wait until I get to the place before I swipe my account.]

Xu Zhiyan looked at the number of gifts written on the live broadcast room. After discovering that only one person received a sports car and the rest received small gifts, he spoke more seriously.

However, it takes 10,000 gift points to redeem one piece of real information. Those who watch live broadcasts don’t have enough purchasing power, so they still have to go to the cinema quickly.

In his game live broadcast room, people began to compare the popularity of current players.

[Xiao Baiwan does have some talent for poisoning people. I just jumped to several other live broadcast rooms. Except for Feng Yanyan, the popularity of the others is not too high.]

[However, Feng Yanyan's words are very funny and interesting, and the stickiness of the live broadcast is almost the same. ]

[Don't keep staring at the popularity value. Haven't you noticed? Players' tasks are issued by the audience in the live broadcast room, and the audience will also rank these ghost exploration locations...]

[Ahhh, yes! The name of Feng Yanyan's live broadcast room attracted a lot of old users, and the places given seem to be quite difficult. ]

After comparison, some people found that the ghost hunting locations given by the audience were actually repeated.

The higher the difficulty level, the more frequently it appears.

Among them, the mental hospital that Feng Yanyan finally chose was mentioned by the audience in almost all the anchors' live broadcast rooms, but no one mentioned it in Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room.

Originally, a few people were a little confused because it was clearly a ghost-hunting live broadcast and a bold anchor should be more suitable to attract popularity.

But Xu Zhiyan chose to do the opposite and pretend to be timid.

[Fuck! Right! The location that Xiao Baiwan got doesn't seem to be the same as others. I see that the locations that others got are all famous scary places in the city.]

[I laughed my ass off at the many nooks and crannies in Xiao Baiwan’s live studio. ]

[No wonder he pretends to be timid and pitiful, tut tut tut.]

[It's a pity that this group of audiences are not very supportive and are extremely poor. Only the guy who keeps wanting to meet offline is relatively rich. ]

[Xiao Baiwan is so pitiful. A player like him has to be teased by NPCs after entering the dungeon. ]

【? ? Are you sick? You think the little millionaire who got a gift for nothing is pitiful?】

[Stop arguing, he's starting to give that sports car guy some perfunctory treatment, hahahaha, he's giving away gifts again and again, this heartless scumbag is accepting them all! ]

Amid the noise in the live broadcast rooms on both sides, the distance of less than a thousand meters was quickly covered.

It was not yet nine o'clock when Xu Zhiyan went out, and it was just past nine o'clock now. It was not too late. After entering the brightly lit neighborhood, he could occasionally see a few pedestrians in a hurry.

Only when he occasionally passed by pedestrians would Xu Zhiyan be silent for a moment, and only speak after the pedestrians had completely disappeared.

Because some of the pedestrians... don't look like humans. No, it should be said that they don't look like living people.

I didn't notice anything different when I looked from a distance, but when I got closer, I could clearly realize that some of the pedestrians were walking very fast and their shadows looked much lighter.

Xu Zhiyan raised his mobile phone seemingly casually, allowing the audience in the live broadcast room to clearly see the people passing by.

"I thought this place was so remote that there wouldn't be anyone here, but I didn't expect to see other passers-by."

He wanted to know if what the audience saw was the same as what he saw...

When Xu Zhiyan had previously seen the landlord talking to those strange people, he had realized that something seemed to be wrong with this world, and that everything was weird.

For example, the woman in the black suit did not speak to the landlord, but the other party kept chattering and answering. When the portrait was sent into the master bedroom, the props only detected the landlord's words, and there was no sign of anyone else speaking.

Does this mean that he and the landlord see different things?

If the world he sees is different from what the landlord sees, then what kind of world do the people in the live broadcast room see?

As he thought about it, the barrage responded to his question.

[It’s summer after all, so even though it’s a bit remote there are definitely people coming out, but there aren’t that many people, isn’t there just one person?]

[I guess the host was talking about just now. Didn’t several people just walk past?]

[It’s past nine o’clock now, so it’s normal that there are few people on the road.]

[Yes, yes, didn’t the news say recently that many people went out after 10pm and ended up getting lost. I don’t know if they were kidnapped or really lost.]

[? ? The coward above, are you really here to watch the ghost-hunting live broadcast? ]

[Don’t all ghost hunting hosts do midnight operations? It’s only this hour and you’re already getting scared. If you don’t want to watch, you can just go away.]

Xu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow. Seeing that the live broadcast room was about to start a quarrel, he did not stop it. Instead, he stared at the line of words in the middle.

[Don't let them know you can see (green)]

This is a line of green words. I don't know why, but after typing this sentence, there is a note in brackets saying "green" at the end. Is it a reminder of the color?

His eyes darkened, and Xu Zhiyan lowered his head to look at his own shadow on the ground, his thoughts racing.

What does this sentence with a color that doesn’t match the other fonts mean?

Should we not let the pedestrians know that they can see different pedestrians? Or should we not let the audience know that they can see?

Xu Zhiyan was sure that on the live broadcast screen he saw, there were three people walking in a hurry, but there was only one person commenting in the live broadcast room. Now he was sure that his perspective was different from that of the audience.

Calming down, he stopped worrying about it.

"Everyone, stop making noise, we're here!"

After perfunctorily comforting the audience in the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan walked towards the location of the abandoned cinema.

As for the green message just now...whether it is the audience or the strange pedestrians, just ignore them all for now.

It seems that there are other rules in the live broadcast room.

Thinking this in his mind, he stood in front of the locked door and looked around.

The cinema to be explored this time is not inside a shopping mall, but a place similar to a large storefront. The upper floor of the entire building is a residential area, and the lower floor is various shops.

I don’t know if it’s because of poor management, but except for a few lights on in the residential buildings above, all the shops in the lower half are closed.

Among them, the abandoned cinema he was going to explore had a door that looked particularly shabby.

"It's a bit scary. All the shops here are closed. Are there any ghosts around here?"

He shouted in a pretentious manner to the live broadcast room, pushed the selfie stick into a dark and dirty corner, and shook his audience violently, simulating the action of fear.

[Don't be afraid! It's okay! I've been here before, it's not that scary.]

[The other shops are fine, but didn’t you see the sign that says ‘Auspicious Room for Rent’?]

[Eh? If it’s not scary, why are you watching a ghost-hunting live show?]

[It’s not that it’s not scary… it’s just that there are some weird things about it. Let me tell you about it…]

Thanks to the audience's words, Xu Zhiyan learned a more detailed background of the cinema. Before, he only knew that this cinema would show movies at night.

[Originally this was just an ordinary street, with many people opening shops around it, and it was very lively. I even came here to eat. But since this cinema opened, strange things have happened frequently...]

Unlike other shops, only movie theaters and convenience stores in this area are open all night.

[The first to get into trouble were a young couple who came to see a midnight movie and bought a package for the entire night. The next day, they both hanged themselves with their belts at the entrance of the No. 1 screening room.]

The bodies of the two people were discovered by the cleaning lady.

[The cinema has surveillance cameras. The person in charge released the surveillance footage and found that the two people should not have gone to Screening Room 1. They should have watched the rest of the movie in Screening Room 3. Screening Room 1 was not supposed to show any movies that day...]

No one could explain why a movie suddenly started showing in Screening Room No. 1 that day.

According to the person in charge, the equipment in Screening Room No. 1 had been malfunctioning, so it was under maintenance and theoretically should not have been put into use. In the inspection after the incident, the projector was found to be broken.

"Huh? So there's a ghost in Cinema Room 1? The door is locked and I can't get in!"

After reading the cinema’s explanation, Xu Zhiyan placed his selfie stick on an abandoned light box and began to hesitate whether to break in through the door.

The six big characters "Golden Amber Cinema" had long faded. An iron chain was tied to the gate, and three iron locks were hung on the chain, all of which were covered with thick rust.

Many viewers remembered this place because of the detailed explanation of the events.

[It’s not just Theater 1 that has problems! This cinema is pretty weird.]

[Oh! Now I remember, it was this movie studio. It was said that there were several suicides later.]

[Yes, it is here! Hiss, it is indeed a bit scary, anchor, why don’t you just forget it and go back.]

[? It’s only good if it’s scary. Besides, this cinema closed only half a year ago. There’s a police station just two streets away. How can it be that scary?]

[I don’t know if it’s true or not, but since this cinema has been experiencing frequent incidents, the surrounding shops have been greatly affected and all have closed down, including the residential buildings above.]

There were a series of incidents at the midnight movie shows.

In addition to the young couple, a few days later, several more gangsters died in Screening Room No. 1, and the cinema had to close for a while under pressure.

[I remember this rectification. Because there were always incidents in the cinema, the city issued a notice that all cinemas could no longer hold midnight screenings.]

[If one person gets into trouble, the whole family will suffer.]

[How would you describe it? But then I remembered that the midnight movie was cancelled, so why is it closed?]

[Since the midnight movies were cancelled, the residents nearby often heard the sound of movies playing in the cinema at night. It was fucking scary!]

[In the end, it was because an employee of the 24-hour convenience store next door died. It seems that he died in the underground parking lot directly below the cinema. His head has not been found yet...]

The more Xu Zhiyan listened, the more weird it sounded.

Even though he was brave, he couldn't help but feel doubtful now.

"Did you guys...really pick the simplest place for me? Why does it sound so scary?"

He felt that this group of people were making fun of him.

The movie theater doesn't sound simple, and this copy is full of invisible and intangible rules. He can't even use props to deal with it.

After hearing his question, the audience in the live broadcast room said no one after another.

[In total, less than ten people died. How could this be considered horrific? A little further away there was a theater where it was said that about 200 people were burned to death. There were still opera performances going on in the middle of the night. Four or five ghost hunters died there.]

[Hahahaha, are you scared? Don’t worry, this is really not scary.]

[That’s right, we didn’t recommend that famous mental hospital to you. It is said that the director of that mental hospital is a perverted murderer. When the whole building was being built, dozens of corpses were built into the walls, and the yard was also full of people buried...]

[It’s okay, it’s okay. I think a host came here at night before and left through the underground garage. He was fine.]

“…”

Xu Zhiyan fell silent after reading it.

Staring at the explanation in the live broadcast room, he found that he had wronged the audience in the live broadcast room.

Compared with the mental hospital whose walls were built with corpses and the opera theater that lost four or five anchors, this cinema that was abandoned half a year ago is indeed a small matter.

“Thank you for choosing the live broadcast location for me.”

He expressed his sincere thanks.

Glancing at the time, he found that it was almost half past nine, and Xu Zhiyan reached out and touched the lock.

It closed just half a year ago?

But the rust on the lock, even if exposed to wind and rain, could not have covered the entire lock in just half a year. Even the door had some rust spreading.

It doesn't make sense, but this is a copy. It would be even more terrifying if an abnormality really occurred.

Just as the live broadcast room was helping him to give advice on where to find an underground parking lot, there was a "click" and the door of the abandoned cinema opened.

After taking back the master key prop, Xu Zhiyan picked up the selfie stick from the broken light box.

"This lock opens easily with a touch!"

You have to go into the theater from either side. If you go through the underground parking lot, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and you will also have to cross a place where people have died.

It’s not clear if there will be any rules if someone dies, but it’s better to have as little contact as possible.

“Squeak——”

The door of the cinema, which had not been used for a long time, was pushed open, making a shrill sound.

As soon as Xu Zhiyan walked in, he vaguely felt the temperature drop here. The air was filled with a musty smell, which was similar to when he logged into the dungeon a few hours ago.

This is a sunken cinema with a first floor and a basement floor, and the basement floor leads directly to the underground parking lot.

He walked for a distance while holding his nose, and used the light of his mobile phone to illuminate the road ahead.

There are white walls, red carpets, and a few empty flower pots on both sides of the road.

Although a long time has passed, I can still vaguely see the color of the carpet and the decoration here. I guess the owner must have spent a lot of money on it.

After walking a few more steps, Xu Zhiyan arrived at the ticket office.

"We're here, but it feels so dirty here. Where do you want to explore next?"

The entire cinema was silent, with only his fake trembling voice echoing in it, which was particularly creepy.

After asking this question, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips, feeling that asking this question seemed a bit out of character, so he added: "Let's finish watching it sooner and leave here sooner, so when does the live broadcast end?"

As he spoke, he called up the task panel.

[Task 3: Complete a live broadcast of ghost hunting]

[Progress: 50%]

Ever since he started the live broadcast, the progress of the task has been increasing with time, until just on the way here, when the progress reached 50%, it never moved again.

It's very strange. Theoretically, he has arrived at the ghost exploration site, so the progress bar should have made a breakthrough.

However, the fact is that nothing happened.

After he entered the abandoned cinema, he was even worse than chatting on the street.

[Ah, you’re a new anchor. If it’s your first time, just go around and watch. You don’t have to broadcast for an hour or two, right?]

[Of course, I went to Theater No. 1 to watch it! ]

[Wow, that place is weird, but since we are here, let’s take a look around.]

In the live broadcast room, people say all kinds of things.

Xu Zhiyan glanced at it casually for a few times, and after confirming that there was no information about the progress bar, he stopped paying attention to the audience and concentrated on looking for clues here.

Rules… Movies should have their own rules.

The people in the live broadcast room only know about events related to the cinema, so it seems that he has to find out the rules himself.

The ticket hall is divided into two parts.

On the left hand side is the manual window, in the middle stands the out-of-service ticket vending machine, and on the right is the rest area with several sofa chairs.

Xu Zhiyan came to the manual window and stretched his head to take a look.

There was a thick layer of dust on the counter, mold was spreading from both sides, and it gave off a strange smell.

In addition to several computers and equipment for printing receipts in the center, there is a place selling snacks, drinks and popcorn on the left, and peripheral dolls on the right.

The light from the mobile phone fell on the transparent container of popcorn, and the scene inside made people feel complicated.

The fungus hyphae grew wildly inside, treating this place as a wanton nest, absorbing nutrients...

Xu Zhiyan's face didn't look very good, and his eyes fell on the rapidly scrolling barrage.

[Ugh, so disgusting!]

[It can be seen that the boss ran away in a hurry. It seems that he didn't take anything with him. He left everything behind!]

[But the popcorn machine has white hair, it's too disgusting.]

[You didn't even take your computer with you? It seems like the boss really encountered some supernatural event.]

"I'm a little scared and don't dare to look at this popcorn machine. What did everyone see?"

Xu Zhiyan had a strange expression on his face and asked aloud.

[Don’t be afraid, it’s just popcorn with white hair. It’s a bit disgusting but it’s okay!]

[This anchor is really timid, hahaha, he's even scared of a hairy popcorn, so he just walks away.]

[Next time I will go with you to explore the spirit world (Salute +10)]

[(Flowers +1) (Flowers +1)]

"Really? That's great."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyan turned the camera to the counter selling peripherals and stopped looking at the popcorn machine.

…Because from his perspective, there was a human head covered with mycelium, staring forward with eyes wide open.

There is also a hat on the person's head, and the bright color indicates the other person's identity.

It was the convenience store employee who lost his head.

After walking around the ticket counter calmly, Xu Zhiyan didn't find any useful rules.

He held up a selfie stick and came to the machines at the ticket vending machine. The machines looked quite new, but were covered in dust.

"They all seem to be new machines. I didn't expect the boss doesn't even want this one."

He reached out and knocked on the ticket machine in front of him, making a bang sound, which slightly eased the uneasiness that had surged in his heart when he saw the head just now.

In the live broadcast room, perhaps someone was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the cinema and gave him a lot of gifts.

Seeing the gifts and the soaring popularity value, Xu Zhiyan took into consideration the other players who were not very good at playing today and did not think of any more ways to increase popularity. This popularity was enough, and the next step should be to complete the task.

In the abandoned rest area, the sofa was covered with mottled mildew spots. In the flowerpot nearby, rotten plants lay limply on the soil, with some hyphae growing on the rotten branches.

From a distance, it looks like a new kind of ornamental plant.

Xu Zhiyan walked slowly, searching for any possible clues.

Taking his own character into consideration, he shook the selfie stick even more violently, and moved back and forth when interacting with the audience, pretending that his voice was unsteady and his hands were shaking.

He was not sure whether the remaining 50% of progress would only be increased after all the viewers felt that the ghost-hunting live broadcast was over.

Just when he found nothing, a strange sound was heard.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka—”

Xu Zhiyan turned around and found that the ticket vending machine in the center had lit up for some reason.

He immediately pointed his phone here, wanting to see the audience's reaction.

This time, everyone also saw the ticket vending machine light up.

[Aa ...

[…My locker moved. I’m leaving now!]

[Oh my god! This is so scary! Help me!]

[Why didn’t the anchor yell?! I yelled first!]

[coma.jpg]

“…”

Xu Zhiyan looked at the comments of the audience in the live broadcast room, and his heart suddenly became extremely calm.

Before, he had always thought that these NPCs watching the live broadcast might be some strange creatures, or they might not be human. But he didn't expect that just by lighting up a ticket machine, all the viewers showed their inexperienced but watchable side.

Very...very down to earth?

He scratched his hair, hesitated for a moment, and screamed softly as if he was slow to make himself look sociable.

"Ah! How scary!"

It’s just that the content doesn’t match his cold expression, but since the ghost-hunting audience can’t see it, he doesn’t care.

However, although the audience in the dungeon could not see it, the audience in the game live broadcast room saw his expression clearly and shook their heads to express their dissatisfaction.

[Fuck! I was so scared just now that I almost screamed like a chicken! ]

[Wuwuwuwu, can I exchange courage with Xiao Baiwan? I am the real coward. 】

[Damn it, when I saw the popcorn machine just now, I sprayed a mouthful of milk tea on my phone. Then the machine started to jump, and my attention was focused on the sofa. I was so scared that my phone broke! ]

[Can you guys stand up a little bit, we are Infinite Gamers! Don’t be scared by a little content! ]

[Being an infinite game player is not incompatible with being timid! Please know! ]

[@Main system, I'm applying to switch to the perspective of the audience of Detective Spirit. Xiao Baiwan's perspective is too good. I really need to change it! ]

【+1 I need it too! 】

The perspective of the Infinite Game Live Room has a relatively large field of view, so the audience saw the lit machine before Xu Zhiyan, and the shock they received was more intuitive.

In the ticket hall, after Xu Zhiyan finished shouting dryly, he looked at the audience in the live broadcast room who were both inexperienced and fond of watching the show and regained a little bit of normalcy, then walked towards the ticket machine with a shaking selfie stick.

The strange sound just now was the ticket machine printing tickets, and a white ticket fell into the ticket outlet.

Xu Zhiyan did not rush to take it.

I haven't found the rules here yet, so I have to be very careful in all my actions, and it's best not to touch anything.

"I don't know why it suddenly lit up, but it seemed like nothing else happened except lighting up. It must be a circuit problem."

He pointed his phone at the falling ticket and observed the contents on it through the light and camera.

It's a blank sheet of paper.

Although it looks like a movie ticket, there are no words on it.

He wondered how he should ask the audience.

Ever since he discovered that the audience saw different content from him and there were green text prompts, Xu Zhiyan would choose to see the audience's reactions first after each abnormality.

I glanced at the panel and saw that even though the ticket had been issued, the game progress was still stuck at 50% and didn't move forward at all.

I wonder if the audience can see the contents of the movie tickets...

However, the audience had just recovered from the light of the ticket machine and had no time to discuss the contents of the movie tickets. Everyone was cursing the boss.

Xu Zhiyan had no choice but to walk around the ticket office again with his selfie stick, and finally waited for the audience to calm down.

As expected, they saw the ticket.

And just as Xu Zhiyan thought, the audience’s view of votes was different from his.

[Wow, couple tickets for Hall 1? So exciting?]

[It’s still ten ten.]

[Hey, this ticket is so strange, there is no seat number? How can this be!]

[So scary, host, why don’t we go back?]

[Why go back? It's just a circuit malfunction.]

[I just saw a poster of the showtimes at the ticket gate.]

Hall No. 1 was as expected, and even the time information was obtained. Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning that the audience had seen a screening schedule, he went straight to the ticket gate.

There is a piece of white paper on the wall here.

There should be something written on it, but Xu Zhiyan can't see it.

Considering that he already had his screen time, he didn’t dwell on it and instead waved around with the selfie stick.

"Dust's eyes are a little squinting. Can you guys help me see if there is anything else in the ticket office?" He tried to guide the audience to help him get more information.

However, after waiting for a while, Xu Zhiyan discovered that the live broadcast room was filled with other content.

[Is it not working? The signal is down? Why can’t I hear the host’s voice? Hello?]

[It’s ten o’clock now. I feel like the signal is bad at ten o’clock every day…]

[Hey! The screen is black!]

It was then that Xu Zhiyan discovered that the information in his live broadcast room seemed to have solidified. From the number of people broadcasting to the number of gifts, all the data was frozen.

He took the phone and turned off the screen temporarily.

At this moment, something strange happened!

“Dang-dang-dang-dang…”

A bell with an eerie tone rang out.

It sounded one after another, and it didn't stop until it had sounded ten times.

Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked around, then put away his selfie stick and cell phone.

The air suddenly felt a little oppressive and crowded, as if there were other people here besides him.

His heart tightened as he thought of 'them' who appeared in the second bedroom.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave, the cinema's loudspeaker broadcast suddenly emitted a sharp and piercing electric sound.

Then, a beautiful female voice with clear and melodious pronunciation appeared.

"Golden Amber Cinema welcomes you!"

"When you hear the announcement, I believe you have already bought your movie tickets."

"Here, you will experience an unprecedented extraordinary movie-watching experience. We guarantee that all audiences will be satisfied and must be satisfied."

It's a movie theater broadcast.

It was fine at the beginning, but the subsequent content was a bit chilling.

"As a public place, cinemas have the following rules that you need to pay attention to."

Xu Zhiyan stood under the loudspeaker, listening attentively to the contents.

Just now, he had been looking for something, thinking he could find something in the lounge area. It turned out that the theater's rules were announced in the form of a broadcast.

Content continued to play in the speakers.

“1. To ensure your movie-watching experience, please enter the theater 5-10 minutes before the movie starts. Please remember not to arrive early or late.”

“2. Watching a movie requires silence. Please do not make any noise after the movie starts.”

"If you must make a sound, tear out your tongue before you speak."

“3. This cinema does not accept outside food.”

“If you must take out food, remember to share.”

“4. Remember to mute your phone so as not to disturb other guests.”

“5. The movie is quite long, please don’t crowd after the show, please go to the restroom first, but please remember, you cannot go to the restroom alone.”

“6. You cannot leave the theater during a movie. Once you enter the theater, you must watch the entire movie before leaving.”

After hearing the fifth point, Xu Zhiyan's brows were already furrowed.

You can't enter alone...

So if he lets Little Crustle out, does that mean there are two people?

However, more troublesome than the fifth rule is the seventh rule that follows.

"7. Our cinema is very popular, the attendance rate is very high, and tickets are hard to come by. Please be sure to take your movie ticket and take your seat according to the number on the ticket."

"If you happen to be unable to find your seat, you can choose another empty seat, but remember not to squeeze other guests."

Xu Zhiyan's breath was choked.

This time he didn't hesitate any more. He turned around and went to the ticket machine and picked up the ticket.

...and it's still white.

There's nothing on it.

He pursed his lips, his expression serious, and put the ticket in his pocket.

It seems useless to have words.

The audience in the live broadcast room can see the above content, but this content does not seem to include the seat number.

I glanced at the time and saw that there were still seven minutes until the movie started.

Considering the rule of entering 5-10 minutes in advance, Xu Zhiyan walked towards Hall No. 1 holding the movie ticket.

And his task bar finally started to move forward after ten o'clock.

[Task 3: Complete a live broadcast of ghost hunting]

[Progress: 51%]

Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and looked at the percentage above.

Three minutes have passed and the price has only risen a little. If he jumps according to the time, he must stay here for a full 150 minutes to complete the entire task.

Walking on the moldy carpet, he followed the signs and came to the door of Hall No. 1.

The door of Screening Room No. 1 was open, as if welcoming the audience. A dim light was already on inside, indicating that a pre-movie advertisement was playing on the screen.

Just when Xu Zhiyan was about to walk in, he found a piece of paper stuck on the wide-open door.

【Please read the entry rules carefully】

[This is a luxurious VIP room, and the audience can bring their own glasses. ]

【You can also wear glasses without them. 】

[We have single tickets, family tickets, couple tickets, etc. Please be sure to check the number of people to ensure that the number is consistent with the movie ticket. ]

[If there are more people than the ticket holders, they will be counted as fare evaders.]

【If there are not enough people, the theater will make up for it. 】

“…”

Xu Zhiyan's grip on the ticket tightened for a moment.

Then he told himself that it was okay, he could just use some small bones to make up the number.

His breathing slowed down and Xu Zhiyan reached out to put on the props.

But the next second he froze in place.

Can't open...

There seemed to be some props blocking the place, or the space was disordered, so he couldn't use the props.

Just as Xu Zhiyan was standing there at a loss, thinking quickly about what to do, suddenly, a hand rested on his palm.

The cold fingertips pressed into the gaps between my fingers.

An invisible guy was interlocking his fingers with his.

Inexplicably, he smelled a familiar, reassuring smell of ashes.

But it is different from ghosts and gods.

The smell is a bit moist, more like paper money that someone has just burned on the side of the road after the rain.
